The Vancouver Canucks announced a new cutting edge way for fans of the Canucks to watch hockey games, as the team unveiled their new “Luongo Cam”, set to be put into play for tonight’s game.

“It’s a well known fact that Vancouver has some of the most dedicated fans in the league. A player can hardly get a haircut in this city without people tweeting about it, or talking about in on their message boards and whatnot. So rather than hide from the rabid interest the fan base has in the team, we have decided to embrace it. And we are doing that by having a camera dedicated solely to Roberto Luongo.” gushed a team rep for the Canucks.

“Why Luongo you ask? Because he is one of the most divisive sports figures in BC history. Let’s not kid ourselves, the only way a “Lapierre Cam” or a “Higgins Cam” would ever go over in this market would be if they were nude at all times. Don’t get me wrong, we asked them to do it, but they weren’t cool with it. Well, Higgins was cool with it, but our lawyers nixed it. Anyways, Luongo was the obvious choice.” explained the team rep.

When asked what fans could expect from the “Luongo Cam” the team rep explained “you can expect reaction shots to everything that happens on the ice. A player gets laid out with a huge hit? Watch as Luongo grimaces in sympathy pain. Schneider lets in a few goals? Watch as Luongo tries to hide his smile. Schneider posts a shutout? Watch as Luongo dials his agent on his cell phone and quietly demands a trade. Steve Yzerman sending texts to Luongo? You’ll see that too. You’ll see it all, live, on Luongo Cam.”

The Canucks warn fans not to confuse the “Luongo Cam” with the “Torres Cam”, which is a gritty indie film that shows Raffi Torres body checking various unsuspecting wild life.
